Eat smart and help your heart
You can dramatically help reduce your chance
for getting heart disease by watching what you
eat. Use these tips to get started:
 Eat more whole grains and vegetables.
 Choose a piece of fruit to munch on
instead of a packaged snack.
 Select low-fat cuts of meat, chicken and
fish.
 Cut down on butter and other fats, and
use liquid vegetable oils for cooking.
Include beans and nuts in your diet.
Buy low-fat or non-fat dairy products, including 1% or skim milk, yogurt and
cottage cheese.
